I would actually think that the SS would have been pretty low on the Luger issue food chain-it's my understanding that the priority of service 9mm pistols was to the Wehrmacht, and the other services had to either scramble for the leftovers, or use foreign "substitute standard" weapons, such as the Browning Hi-Power, or accept lower-caliber firearms, such as the CZ 27, etc.

Best, Jon
